Because of the mass CPU recalls and postponements, we decided to hold off an update to our laptop guide an entire quarter. Now that the issues have been resolved and laptop makers are starting to get their latest designs out in the market, we are once again ready to bring you a list of our favorite notebooks in six different categories: Thin and light, business or general purpose, desktop replacements, gaming, budget offerings, and netbooks. We’ve included a quick description under each category to offer some advice on what you should be looking for, as well as a brief recount of what makes each of the laptops listed in this guide special. That said, if we’ve overlooked your favorite system feel free to share it in the comments.
